Understanding Categories

The Category Manager (P980058) application provides a way to view, add, edit, and delete categories that can then be attached to subscriptions so that users can group notifications with a common purpose or business goal. For example, they might want to group notifications by sales region or location. Category Manager enables you to provide preexisting categories to potential subscribers for this reason.

The categories created in Category Manager appear in a drop-down list in the Subscription Manager where subscribers can choose to use them. In Subscription Manager, subscribers can also create categories on the fly and share them for reuse by other users. For more information on Subscription Manager, see "Adding a Subscription" in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools Foundation Guide.

Note: Use action security to disable a user's ability to add categories in both the Category Manager and Subscription Manager. If you disable the ability to add in Category Manager, the Share button will not appear in Subscription Manager either.
